March is finally starting to hint at spring, and we couldn’t be more excited to see the creativity blooming right along with it! Today we’re thrilled to share a fun and inspiring project from Deniz Do, who has found a clever way to bring the My Sweet Petunia platform into her journaling routine. Deniz shows us how the Petunia Platform becomes the perfect steady workspace for ink swatching and journaling with wet inks. It’s one of those “why didn’t I think of that?” ideas we absolutely love!
By using the platform and magnets to hold her journal firmly in place, Deniz turns swatching into a smooth, frustration-free experience. No sliding pages, no shifting notebooks—just pure creative play with beautiful inks and tools. If you love fountain pens, journals, or simply exploring new ways to use your My Sweet Petunia tools, this project is sure to spark some inspiration. Take it away, Deniz!

March is finally bringing a bit of warmth around here and I am here for it!
Today I’m sharing one of my favourite ways to use my My Sweet Petunia Platform and magnets. It’s been a total game changer for journaling with wet inks and ink swatching. No more chasing my journal around the desk while I’m trying to create — everything stays perfectly in place.
For this little spread I pulled out my Archer & Olive journal, my new Wearingeul glass pen, and some fun ink samples from Goulet Pens. There’s something so satisfying about swatching inks and seeing all the colours come to life on the page.
Tell me, how are you using your platform lately? - Deniz

Now that was worth publishing.... (not so much)
ReplyDeleteI need more information. Why does her journal move so much? I see the magnets, but not the platform...what did she do with it? Was she just holding the book open with the magnets?
ReplyDeleteThe platform is the white square with smaller red grid lines under the book.
DeleteIf you have ever wanted to create a mood board style notebook with colors of wet ink, you realize that it is difficult to keep the pages from flipping closed. The magnets holding the journal open by virtue of the platform which will free up your hands and give you the opportunity to create unhindered by the fear of your pages getting inked together forever because the page slipped free and closed over your wet ink. YES she is JUST HOLDING THE BOOK OPEN WITH THE MAGNETS but the result is FREEDOM.
